In September she had made her New York 'sensational debut' in a new production of 'Fliegende Holländer' - opening of the New York City Opera season. Last summer she performed 'Die irische Legende' in München during their festival. Just prior, as Brünnhilde in 'Siegfried' in Genève, she 'showed why she is the most important of the European sopranos to watch'. She was in Vienna as the Frau just afterward. She also performed the world-premiere, 'K', in Paris and was the Kaiserin and Senta at the Vienna Staatsoper and was the Kaiserin in Barcelona's new production of Frau earlier that season.

She had triumphs as Bologna's 'Salome' (M° Gatti) and as 'Ariadne' at La Scala (Sinopoli) in spring 2000. She also had performances in Vienna ('Holländer', 'Fidelio'), concerts in Köln and with the Münchner Philharmoniker and was soprano soloist in the Britten War Requiem with Sir Colin Davis in Dresden. In 1999 she was Marie in Köln's 'Wozzeck'; 'Fidelio' in Vienna and 'Frau' and 'Ariadne' in Dresden (conducted by Sir Colin Davis and Giuseppe Sinopoli).
